This policy explains how the mobile game Skimlane: Traffic Weave ("the app"), published by Pairo ("we"), handles information on Android and iOS.
Summary
- There is no account and we do not run our own servers. We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos or precise location.
- Your game progress (levels, coins, vehicles, settings) is stored only on your device.
- The app shows ads through Google AdMob. Google may collect device and usage data to show and measure ads, as described below.
- Purchases are processed by Apple or Google. We never see your card or payment details.
- To find and fix bugs we collect gameplay events and crash reports through Google Firebase, linked to a random player ID (no name or email).
Player ID
On first launch the app creates a random 8-character player ID (shown in Settings). It is not linked to your name, email address or contacts. It is used as the user ID for analytics, crash reports and purchases, so that if you contact us we can find what happened in your game. You can read it to us from Settings.
Analytics, crash reports and remote settings (Google Firebase)
The app uses Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Remote Config (Google) to understand how the game is played, to find and fix errors, and to tell you when an update is available or required. They collect:
- Gameplay and app events (for example app opened, level started, won or failed, power-up used, ad or purchase succeeded or failed, settings opened), with values such as level, time and score;
- Crash reports and error logs, including the recent events before the problem;
- Device and app information (model, operating system version, language, memory, app version), an app instance ID, the player ID, and approximate location derived from the IP address.
When you tap Report a problem in Settings, the recent event log stored on your device is sent to Crashlytics. See the Firebase privacy information.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK to show banner, interstitial, rewarded and app-open ads. To deliver, limit, measure and protect ads against fraud, Google and its advertising partners may collect:
- Device identifiers such as the Advertising ID (Android) or IDFA (iOS) and app instance IDs;
- IP address and approximate location derived from it;
- Device and app information (model, operating system version, language, app version) and ad interaction data (impressions, clicks).
Ads are personalized only where permitted. On iOS we ask for permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt; if you decline, the IDFA is not shared. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we ask for your consent through Google's User Messaging Platform before personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy options in the app and in your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; Android: Settings → Google → Ads).

In-app purchases
Optional purchases ("Remove Ads" and coin packs) are handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We use RevenueCat to validate purchases and restore them; RevenueCat receives the player ID, the purchase receipt and basic device information, but not your card or billing details. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
Data stored on your device
Game progress, settings and the recent event log are saved locally on your device. Progress is not sent to us. Uninstalling the app deletes this data.
How long we keep data
- Analytics events are kept by Google for a limited period (up to 14 months) and then deleted automatically; Crashlytics reports are kept for 90 days.
- Purchase records are kept by RevenueCat for as long as needed to provide your purchases and to meet legal obligations.
- Advertising data is kept by Google according to its own policies.
- Data linked to your player ID is deleted on request (see Your rights).
Sharing and international transfers
We share data only with the service providers named above: Google (Firebase, AdMob) and RevenueCat. They process it to provide their services and under their own privacy policies. We do not sell your data for money. These providers may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States, using safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Children
Skimlane is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EEA and UK, or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or port your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, to withdraw consent, to opt out of the sharing of data for advertising, and to complain to your data protection authority. We do not discriminate against you for using these rights.
We do not run our own servers; your data is held by the services above. To request access or deletion, email fahreddin@pairo.cloud with your player ID and we will handle it with Google and RevenueCat, normally within 30 days. You can stop ad personalization at any time as described in the Advertising section.
Changes
We may update this policy, for example if we add new features or services. The date above will change and the updated policy will be published on this page.
